Now add in EVERYONE on a brexit platform, just like you did with remain or does that not suit the agenda?

Rewulf Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 54 minutes ago, oowee said: Your right lets not allow considered opinion to get in the way of a good story. Really ? So you think a foreign 'investor' paying millions into the coffers of remain groups, and others determined to overturn Brexit before its even happened, groups and media moguls that pay to skew polls and studies that present Brexit as a disaster, again, before its even happened, this is 'considered' opinion ? Its sounds like illegal foreign meddling in a UK democratic process to me, you know that thing that gets leveled at leavers all the time , but can never be proved ?

Dekers Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Sorry, not read all this but as others have mentioned, I cannot for the life of me see how a massive victory for the Brexit Party has been turned round by the remoaners as a clear indication the electorate want to stay in! Particularly with a turnout of circa 37% overall, where remoaners were in the order of 49% in a much larger referendum turnout nearly 3 years ago, doesn't sound like they have a leg to stand on! Even the major parties are reluctantly agreeing that the public has had enough of their shenanigans and we need to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewluke Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) all brexit party voters 100% leave all other parties had remain and leave voters,for some reason all other parties seem to believe that all their voters were remainers Edited May 28, 2019 by andrewluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I think a lot of potential voters still hadn't known about the Brexit Party, it was so new and not that well publicised. Yesterday lunchtime my brother in law said "What is this Brexit party they keep going on about? I've never heard of them" How many more like that?

Do away with the votes and look we have a dictatorship. No, just that no-one knew what they were actually voting for or what a hash this would turn into.

Obviously a lot of people did vote for them but they had only been going ten weeks. If they had been going for a year and had a decent opportunity to get noticed I believe their share would have been over 50%, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I notice that Labour or the Green Party are not options. I also note the campaign has the support of the majority of the country. I am sure Di Abbott is moonlighting and writing this drivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I really can't believe that these people have the front to call for the people to be given the final say on the vote of 2016! Who the **** do they think voted in 2016! Neither Liberal nor Democratic What arrogance to think they can seek to reverse the outcome of a legally held referendum. Then again, they reversed an election pledge on Student Loans so not that surprising Next they will insist we replay the FA Cup until their team wins Edited May 28, 2019 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't a serious party, they are there for the sole purpose of getting us out of the EU, they have no policies other than that! Obviously a lot of people did vote for them but they had only been going ten weeks 6 weeks I believe. If they had been going for a year and had a decent opportunity to get noticed I believe their share would have been over 50%, I suspect you could be right there just the same!

Just like a GE then? 😊 My initial comment was based on your one liner - basically to say that I am sure that a lot of people vote in the GE, not really knowing what they are voting for and that can end in a car crash as well. If you have a majority in Parliament, you can force a lot of things through. I appear to have touched a nerve, for which I apologise. I do appreciate you well balanced arguement though about numpties and seamen..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
